Again is a half-sister to 1m 2f winner Ouroumtsi out of an unraced half sister to Montjeu.
Mastercraftsman and Again were Danehill Dancer's two Group One winners last year, and they give the sire an Irish Guineas double. His other European Group One winners are Miss Beatrix, Speciosa and Choisir. The winning prize money catapults the son of Danehill past Galileo in the European sires' list.
